The Truck Days DVD

This DVD records some of the experiences of shearing teams from the early 1900’s through to the early 60s who travelled on the backs of inventively reconstructed trucks from Perth to the pastoral regions of WA – The Kimberley, Pilbara, Ashburton, Gascoyne, Murchison and Eastern Goldfields – and from sheep station to shear very large flocks of  sheep. Some teams went north by ship and, in later years, by plane and then on to stations on truck thereby avoiding some of the discomfort of long distances on “ring-pounder trucks”
